Hi,
So i recently hooked up my choke the factory way it is (PO had done something wierd)
So, i set my idle, and my chokes set corrently - but it no longer fast idles.
Before i adjusted the choke so it works correctly, it had the fast idle when cold, and now it doesn't, it just idles normally when cold

Ideas?

Adjust your fast idle screw.

Just in case you haven't gotten that far into Q-jet adjustments/tuning yet, here is the location of the fast idle screw - as Lars describes it.

Would the fast idle screw be different on an edelbrock? Can't find the normal one, although there is the linkage on the passenger side, no screw i can see

The Edelbrock fast idle screw is on the drivers side, below the normal idle screw, and pointed up. It's almost impossible to see unless you know it's there.
